Making Pancakes

On Memorial Day we woke up and cooked breakfast...we decided to let Amy stir the pancakes...she did great! She absolutely loved it and did not even make a mess! Such a little cook...

Tyler and Ryan's Visit and Art Car Parade

I am a little behind, but these pictures were too cute not to share. Tyler and Ryan came down for Mother's Day weekend and we had a blast. We went to the art car parade and swimming both days.

Tyler and Amy coloring...he was not impressed that she broke the crayon...
Also, not impressed that she took his paper...

All better, everyone coloring on their own sheet!

Art Car Parade - This was the kids favorite...nothing like a giant chicken!

Ready to watch the parade...check out the crocs! Too cute! Thanks Grams!

Checking out Ryan...

Amy waved almost the entire time we were there...she loved the parade!

Watching with Tyler...

Again, waving to all the cars!

Exhausted once it was over...luckily Tyler let her ride in his spot in the stroller!

Trip to Amarillo

Last weekend we went to Amarillo to visit and go to Claire's first communion. We can't believe she is eight already, she is such a grown up! Anyway, we had tons of fun and I took way too many pictures...so be prepared!

On the bus to the airport, she thought it was weird to not be in her carseat.
Playing with the tickets at the airport...

She was eating lunch and had to eat with her napkin on her head, she thought it was hilarious!

Claire getting ready for pictures.

Cayla and Claire before the service.

Amy during church, before Daddy took her to the cry room, let's just say she was a little noisy for big church!

Claire walking in...again, so big!

Amy with her big friends!

Mimi with the kids.

Seriously, could you have a sweeter Goddaughter? Such a sweetheart!

Playing with Claire

Trying on the veil...she would wear it about 2 seconds at a time!

Afterwards, we went to Chuck and Cayla's for a barbeque and to try out the new margarita machine...let's just say it was greatness! Amy loved playing with Claire with a bucket of balls and dumping them on her head...hilarious!

Amy had a new little friend, Tatum and she bullied her a little bit! This picture might look sweet, but Amy is really pushing her out of the way! And she hit her with a book later :)

Amy did love playing with Tatum's car and she rode in it quite a bit...please note, Mommy didn't let the margarita get too far away!

Amy decided she wanted to drive it herself!

And then shooting some hoops with Daddy...

The boys played poker...

Amy checked out the playset...very fun!

On Sunday, Auntie made us lunch and more importantly strawberry shortcake! And taught her the joys of spray whip cream!!! She was a BIG fan!

Amy girl also got her first haircut from Auntie! Or at least got her rattail cut off...it looks much better now! We were so glad Auntie could cut her hair, she gave me my first haircut a long time ago! Thanks so much Auntie!!!
She really did good and set very still...and used the comb!

This is for Uncle Mark...no more rattail!!!

All done!!!

Later we played in the tupperware drawer and the pans! And she started cooking and tasting her food! With her party hat on!

Stirring up something yummy! And both in our party hats!!! This picture cracks me up, she is looking at me like I am nuts!

Cute Picture

Yesterday when we got home from church, Amy wanted to drive the truck! Daddy moved the seat up and she took over! Such a grown up!

Excuse the binkie...she is getting some molars and that is the only thing she will chew on!
